of
HIS LAST SPEECH OF THE TOUR,
the president said: EVERY ton of iron you
are enabled to furnish the northern states
goes far toward destroying the sectional
feeling. Your fellow countrymen appre-
ciate the value of intimate and profitable
business relations with you, and there need
be no fear that they will permit them to be
destroyed or endangered by designing
demagogues. The wickedness of those
partisans who seek to further their own
ambitious schemes by engendering strife
among the people is fast meeting expos
ure."

AN EXPLANATION.
WASHINGTON, Oct 18.-A. H. Davis,
Washington correspondent of the Mime
apolis Tribune, in card in to-day's Post
says: Il am pleased to learn from Mr..
Blethem to-day that he was absent on i'm
portant business when the attack on Mrs.
Cleveland was made, and of course not
but was not responsible for it. The oppo-
sition of his partner prevented an apology"
This announcement, which officially puts
the burden and responsibility upon Mr..
Haskell, is commented on as particularly
strange, because Mr.. Haskell's fathers
paper, the Boston Herald, is Cleveland's
most ardent supporter.
